This is somewhat of an open ended question, but i'll try to keep it specific. Does anyone know of any drivers/filters for MS Windows, OS/2, or UNIX (Linux) that would allow printing to a 'dumb' line vector device such as a HP7200A plotter? Ultimately i want to plot HPGL files using say MS Word, importing the HPGL into a document and printing it out through a suitable driver to a file. The line vector file can then be superficially processed to suit just about any plotter or vector device (specifically the HP7200A). If you know of a 'dumb' plotter that is supported by some software, and that software allows importing of HPGL, please tell me! I would prefer that the software run on a IBM PC '486, but wouldnt mind other platforms. BTW wasn't there a site that had lots of information on Hewlett Packard plotters and the HPGL standard somewhere? Thanks very much, Junaid
